Static bogons are the bane of my existence...  The pain of trying to explain
to someone for MONTHS that they haven't updated their reference, with
traceroutes to back it up, and they continue to say that it has something to
do with my network.

Now that the holidays are over and IANA v4 depletion is likely days

move to martians?


Just sayin'


There are still some 7,000 prefixes in the v4 "full bogons" list. These
are such things as allocations to RIR's but have not yet been allocated.
It's updated every four hours:

" The traditional bogon prefixes, plus prefixes that have been
allocated to RIRs but not yet assigned by those RIRs to ISPs, end-users,
etc. Updated every four hours."

That is one probably best taken by BGP feed and not done manually.

Yes, I was referring to static/manual bogon list. The Cymru BGP feed
rocks.
